Der of Mr. Clevelands Cabinet. He was
born at Auburn, n. Y, in 1916. His father

Daniel S. Dickinson, but belonged to the
Massachusetts, Dickinsons. He went to

new POStmaSter-Generalw was educated at the
State University at Ann Arbor, graduating
in 1866 Three years later he received his
diploma from the law school and began to
practise. At first he had a desk in his older
brothers office. When the latter, already a
rich man. went to New York to accept a re-
tainer of $4,000 year from one of the
largest dry-goOds firms there, he gave his
business to Don.
On receiving this encouraging gratuity Don
took into partnership another Dickinson,
Julian G., who was no kin whatever to him,
but knew how to collect debts. The two
proSpered and separated, but Don held to,
gether the large collection business, in which
he had made a good deal of money. The firm
is now Dickinson, Hosmer s. Thurber and
the senior partner is said to have an in
come all told of over $4,000 a year A
large part of this comes from his collection
bureau. which he runs independently OF the
firm. He hires two or three good lawyers
and big corps of clerks and pushes the bust
ness with energetic hand. He is famous
for prOmptitude and never stops when he
gets after debtor until he collects his judg
ment and hands over the cash to his client.
He is said to be worth half a million, and
Mrs. Dickinson, who was Grand Rapids
girl, has fortune of $50, 900 in her own
right They have only one child, a little
girl three years old.

man. with black side-whiskers thanking thin
pale face. He has been a delegate-at-large in
every National Democratic Convention since
1876 He was an enthusiastic Cleveland man
long before the Chicago Convention, and
never saw the President until he met him
bv invitation in Buffalo in December
1884 when Mr.. Cleveland had gone there to
arrange his affairs preparatory to making his
home in the White House. Then in company
with Judge Lothrop, now Minister to Russia,
Mr. Dickinson called on Mr.. Cleveland The
two took fancy to each other which time
has only strengthened.
